An error as small as a single flipped memory bit is all it takes to expose a private key.
I read most of this article trying to determine if I was impacted, so to save you the trouble:
The researchers traced the keys they compromised to devices that used custom, closed-source SSH implementations that didn’t implement the countermeasures found in OpenSSH and other widely used open source code libraries.

You da real mvp
tldr 1 in a million RSA keys are vulnerable
I migrated most of my keys to ed25519 a while ago, I probably should keep going
